The significance of the green paint: In the vandalism on a London synagogue, Kesher Talk reader Michael Levy pointed out something peculiar. The vandals had poured paint over the walls and the Ark. Green paint, to be specific.

As he noted, green is not the color of Nazism, it is the color of Islam.

This raises a couple of questions:
  • Were the vandals actually Muslim, and if so, why are neo-Nazis suspected?

  • Did the vandals use green paint to throw suspicions away from themselves?
  • Is just any neo-Nazi punk in the UK capable of this kind of savvy?
